Different Extensions For Different Women
When you first look at any extension retailer, the sheer variety may seem a little overwhelming. Curly, wavy, straight, short, long, how do you decide? Will it look natural on? How long will it last? Before you order anything, you need to take an introspective look at yourself and determine what you want to look like once the extensions are in place. How long do you want your hair to be? What shape do you want it to have? What does your ideal self image look like? After you have determined this, then you're prepared to start looking at extensions.
Three Beautiful Women, Three Different Styles and Types of Hair Extensions (PerfectLocks Virgin Indian Remy Hair Extensions Pictured)
The different styles of hair are actually more self-explanatory than they appear. Straight, wavy, and curly just refers to the texture of the hair: just like yours is straight, wavy, or curly, these same descriptive terms can also be applied to extensions. This is true whether you get real human hair extensions or synthetic. The difference is that the curls in the natural hair will most likely be natural, whereas the synthetic hair will have been crimped.
A good rule of thumb is to match the texture of your own hair. If you straighten your wavy or curly hair, it might help if you select straight extensions, but remember that anything you do to the rest of your hair will almost certainly be done in equal measure to your extensions. Plus, even if you do pull the straightener away before you hit your extensions, you risk an uneven appearance if you don't match your extensions exactly. Though, depending on the length of your hair, a contrasting texture can look fantastic!
Real Hair Vs. Synthetic
Synthetic hair extensions are usually cheaper than real human hair extensions, but the texture of synthetic hair can almost never match up with the texture of your own natural hair. Plus, it can be difficult to get the colors to match exactly: you may have to custom order it, whereas with natural hair extensions you can simply dye it right there in the salon. It's just like working with your own hair, except that it's a little longer.

But even if you choose real hair extensions, be sure that you're getting only virgin hair extensions. Many real hair extensions are treated with chemicals, which make them more prone to breakage and damage. In general, the more chemicals extensions have been exposed to, the less likely they are to last as long as possible, and the less securely they will bond with your natural hair.
When you choose extensions, you should look for a company that carefully cultivates a relationship with the culture of Indian hair. Be particular about getting real Indian hair of the highest quality, handpicked and selected for texture, fullness, and health. The better the hair in the extensions, the longer they are going to last.
What Type of Extension Is Right For You?
If you've decided on real hair extensions, you'll next need to look at the actual styles of the hair. Most places will offer a number of different hair extension types, ranging from clip-in bangs to weave-in larger hairpieces. The clip-in bangs are very easy to manage.
They simply attach to your regular hair, and then can be styled in any way you please. Good clip-in bangs will look just like your hair, matching in color with the clip completely obscured. High quality hair extension retailers likePerfectLocks often offer a variety of clip-in bangs, even including side bangs with front bangs on the same clip.
If you're looking for a more dramatic, overall hair effect, then you may want to consider clip-in extensions. These longer pieces simply clip on to your existing hair for a sudden change in length that still looks natural. Clip-in extensions are available in all three textures (wavy, curly, and straight) and can be cut or styled. They are great if you're wondering how you'd look with long hair: you can experiment with them, style them, and then take them out again later.Then there is loose hair, which can be used to form more permanent extensions. These will actually be bonded to your hair strands, staying durably through washing and styling. They are exactly like your normal hair, except that you will need to remember that they are simply attached, not growing out like the rest of your hair. They will also need to be replaced periodically. The average life of extensions varies depending on the quality, but high-quality genuine untreated Indian hair will typically last from 6 to 8 months, but may last over a year with proper care.
Quality hair companies will also offer other specialized hair extension products such as closure pieces, ideal for women who struggle with bald spots and thinning hair. The closure piece is applied to the top of the head, and then can be adjusted and styled from there. It adds an overall fuller appearance, helping combat the bald spots that sometimes come with age.
Not all hair extensions need to be so permanent! If you're just looking to experiment, there clip on hair extensions are a fast, simple, and temporary way to achieve a whole new look.

Styling Options
One of the best things about having longer hair is the ability to style it into more than just straight hair. You can experiment with hairstyles like ponytails and updos, giving yourself a dramatically different appearance in just a few minutes. Experiment as much as you like, but always be careful of your extensions. They are applied to be invisible when your hair is down, and you will need to be sure the joins between them and your own hair stay hidden when you put that hair up.
Once you have your hair extensions in place, you'll immediately see new styling opportunities. Long hair looks wonderful when it's simply straight and down, but you can also do a lot of things to curl it and give it wave. Also try experimenting with giving your hair more body; different volume crèmes and sprays will give your hair a different shape, and experimenting with them will help you find out more about how your hair works.
Your extensions should be able to handle the same products as your regular hair, including sprays, leave in conditioners, and mousse. Just be careful of too much residue: your extensions won't grow out, and you can't scrub at them as you might your regular hair.
With a little bit of extra care, your extensions will last for a long time. It's a smart idea to look for a hair extension company like Perfect Locks that is confident enough about their hair to offer a full refund, satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. A flexible return policy is also good in case you change your mind about the type of hair you order once you see it. You can decide to switch out straight for curly, and a good store will happily do it for you so long as you haven't actually worn the straight hair.

Taking Care Of Your Extensions
Once your extensions are in place, particularly if you have permanent extensions, you'll want to handle them with care to maximize their lifespan. Good quality extensions should be naturally strong: they should be made from cuticle hair, meaning that the cuticles all run in the same direction in order to prevent tangling and matting. Nonetheless, great quality hair can still be damaged. Avoid sleeping on your extensions while your hair is wet, and don't use low quality hair products. Most importantly, be sure to take rigorous care of your hair. Don't allow it to become too tangled, or else you risk pulling the extensions out when you brush through.
